Yup, I was thinking about a story I wrote that was accepted for Nathan Shumate's Arkham Tales and wound up grabbing the pen and ink (something I haven't done in years - and years, and years) to sketch something out. Mind you, the story was complete, it was accepted, and Nathan didn't ask me for any artwork. Lord knows nobody has in a long time. Kinda happy with the results. I started with the figure drawing and thought I muffed the proportions until I measured them out. Particularly happy with the way the folds in the robes turned out. There's a complete fight scene between this hero and a monstah (as they say around here), but since I'm going to pitch that to gowith the story I suppose it shouldn't show up here. Waddya think?

Excellent.

It turned out very well. :-)

That is a solid figure, looks great especially for being out of practice. I've been thinking about getting back into art myself, but not enough hours in the day.

I'm awed and envious. On account of having as much artistic ability as a doorknob...

I like how you can feel the tension in his body with his legs bent like that and the sword raised above his head. Nice work.
